Great Genius Insights into Everything

Mind is the Link between Spiritual and Material

“The great aim of the mystery schools of all ages has been to reveal the workings of the Law which connect man the material and man the spiritual. The connecting link between the material man and the spiritual man is the intellectual man, for the mind partakes of both the material and immaterial qualities. The aspirant for higher knowledge must develop the intellectual side of his nature and so strengthen his will that is able to concentrate all powers of his being on and in the plane he desires.”

- Dr. Doreal (The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean)

“Let us once and for all disabuse our minds of the idea that spirit can work directly upon matter; it never does so. Spirit works through mind, and mind works through the ‘Ether; and the ‘Ether, which is the framework of matter and the vehicle of the life-forces, can be manipulated within the limits of its nature, which are by no means inconsiderable.”

- Diane Fortune (The Mystical Qabalah)

The Truth about Steve Jobs and his story with Apple

How Steve Jobs Got “Fired” From His Own Company

“The conventional wisdom was that Steve Jobs was a great visionary but not a good businessman,” Deutschman said. “But in his second time at Apple he wasn’t just a visionary. He made a point of learning how to be a great businessman.”

Jobs put it this way in his speech to Stanford graduates:

“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life,” he said.

“I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love.”

Former Apple CEO John Sculley says he never fired co-founder Steve Jobs

Sculley disagreed with Jobs’ approach, arguing that, as a public company, Apple needed to set expectations for sales and profits. He asserted that the Mac wasn’t ready for what Jobs wanted to do and remained staunch in continuing to focus on the Apple ][.

“So, that was a major disagreement between us. I said if you try to change that on your own, then I have no choice but to go to the board, and we need to bring this issue up with the board. And he didn’t think I would do that. And I did,” Sculley said.

The board responded by asking Mike Markkula, then a vice-chairman at Apple to interview key people at Apple to determine whether Jobs or Sculley was right. After 10 days, Markkula reported that Sculley was right that the technology for the Macintosh wasn’t ready for what Jobs wanted to accomplish. As such, the board asked Jobs to step down as leader of the Macintosh division.

Steve was never actually “fired” from Apple, but he was demoted from the role of leading the Macintosh division and then he went off on sabbatical and then he eventually resigned from the company and took a number of key executives and started NeXT Computing,” Sculley told Greelish.

According to Sculley, the board was “outraged” that Jobs took executives with him, as he had promised not to but did it anyway.

The Law of Propinquity in Social Relationships

Propinquity: “Being near to someone or something. Having reasons for frequent interaction or close proximity.”

What does propinquity have to do with dating? Let me break this down for you with a simple example. Tom and Sally may have all kinds of things in common, including good looks, but their propinquity is low if one lives in L.A. and the other one lives in New York. Another couple, Jeff and Sarah, may have little in common… Other than mailboxes that happen to be side-by-side in the mail room on the ground floor of the apartment building where they both live.

The law of propinquity dictates that Jeff and Sarah are far more likely to end up together than Tom and Sally.

In fact, social psychologists have researched this concept extensively. Social psychologists have studied hundreds of factors to determine who ends up with who when it comes to romantic relationships. Want to know which variable has the biggest impact? You guessed it; it’s propinquity!

By getting specific, you can look for ways to purposefully increase your propinquity with your dream quality man/woman. Then, you can make purposeful adjustments to your regular routines to ensure you occasionally show up where he/she hangs out.
